Microsoft Dedicated Servers defined as Operating System software specifically designed to be used as a network server (not peer-to-peer).

Supported Servers / Remarks / Notes:

Windows Server 2019 Standard – Sage 100 Premium is a 32-bit application and will run seamlessly on a 64-bit operating system utilizing the WOW64 x86 emulator.

Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit) – standard – The eBusiness Web Services service can only be installed on a Windows Server platform. For more information, see the eBusiness Web Services Installation Guide WebServices.pdf found by clicking the Documentations directory of the Sage 100 Premium Autorun screen.

** Windows Server 2008 R2 Extended Support from Microsoft ends on January 14, 2020. Windows Server 2008 R2 will no longer be supported by Sage after January 14, 2020.

Windows Server 2012 (64-bit) – Standard – Recommendations Sage 100 Premium should be installed on a dedicated member/application server. Although supported, certain Windows server configurations are not recommended due to possible instability and performance issues. Support from Sage Customer Support may be limited in the following circumstances. Running Sage 100 Premium on a Windows server acting as an Active Directory domain controller managing a large number of user accounts, computer accounts, group policies, organizational units, remote sites, or other network resources.

Running Sage 100 Premium on any server actively running other applications or services, such as e-mail (for example, Exchange Server), IIS, fax programs, or other software.

Not Supported:

Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) Standard and Enterprise – Service Pack 1** – The items listed here are intended to be used for clarification purposes only, and are not intended to represent a comprehensive list of exclusions.

Running Sage 100 Premium on any Windows Small Business Server operating system – regardless of the number of user and computer accounts it is managing, is not supported. Small Business Server runs Active Directory and Exchange Server by default, and that has been a factor in many reported cases of instability and performance issues. Instability may also result if Small Business Server is further configured to run other applications concurrently, such as IIS, Shared Fax Services, and SQL Server.

Using a server operating system as a Sage 100 Premium workstation is not supported (not even as a client to another server). However, this configuration can be utilized for testing.

Sage 100 and Sage CRM Suite were not designed for any version of Windows Datacenter Server and are not supported on this platform.

Sage CRM Supported Server – For a complete list of supported Servers refer to the Software Requirements and Mobile Features document at https://www.sage.com/en-gb/products/sage-crm/

To install CRM Outlook Integration, download the Outlook plug-in from within CRM in the My CRM menu > Preferences tab. The user must be an Administrator or Power User of the client machine to install the Outlook plug-in.

If installing the CRM Outlook Integration in a Remote Desktop Services environment, administrator rights are required on the Remote Desktop Services machine. All instances of Internet Explorer and Outlook must be closed to install the plug-in. At the time of the installation, exclusive access to the server is required for each user. After the plug-in is installed, administrator rights are no longer required.

Some third-party products might not support the same virtualization platforms as Sage 100 products. For verification, please check with the third-party vendor.

Miscellaneous Notes:

When running Sage 100 Premium over a local area network (LAN) environment, the ping timings will vary depending on the speed and configuration of the network. Typical ping timings with 1,800 bytes of data should be between 20–30 milliseconds or faster. Unacceptable ping speeds are over 40 milliseconds.

In the Sage 100 Premium client/server environment, integrated applications do their processing at the workstation, not at the server. As a result, users may experience performance issues when running integrated applications from remote locations. Some of the applications affected include Crystal Reports.

Virtual private network (VPN) and wide area network (WAN) connections should be set up as point-to-point connections, as opposed to Internet connections, for better stability and performance. If an Internet connection is used, ensure the Internet Service Provider (ISP) can provide a guaranteed bandwidth; otherwise, users may experience dropped sessions and lost connections. With any type of low speed WAN connection, for each remote user, select the Low Speed Connection checkbox in User Maintenance.

Always re-run Sage 100 Premium Workstation Setup after re-installing or upgrading the Windows operating system, and verify that a default Windows printer is still available and operational.

Sage is committed to supporting future Microsoft operating systems as they are released to market for all Sage 100 Premium modules; however, Sage does not support beta-level operating systems. As new operating system levels are scheduled for general release, Sage will verify their compatibility, and this document will be updated when Sage’s evaluations are completed.

Using Citrix or Remote Desktop Services is suggested for faster remote printing of Crystal reports over a WAN and virtual private network (VPN)

VPN solutions are either software-based, hardware-based (such as a VPN firewall), or a hybrid of both.

Software-based VPNs may result in slower connection speeds due to the security overhead of encrypting the data. Hardware-based solutions run faster.

Low-speed connections are subject to considerable performance issues when using a software-based VPN. It may cause the connection to have a bandwidth of less than 256 Kbps. For information on guaranteed bandwidth requirements, see miscellaneous note above. TCP/IP must be installed and properly configured so that you can ping by computer name and IP address from the workstation to the server. The server must be able to at least ping the workstation by its IP address. You must be able to use the Windows TELNET.EXE utility or equivalent to communicate with the Application Server on a specific port ID and IP address, or on a specific port ID and name from all workstations to the server. If this cannot be done, you must contact your Microsoft support organization. Sage Customer Support cannot assist with this task. For more information on connection requirements, refer to your Sage 100 Installation and System Administrator’s Guide.

The Sage 100 Premium Application Server is a Windows Sockets application that listens on a single port (typically port 10000). You must open this port on your firewall/router so clients can connect to the Application Server properly. The client does not listen back on its own port, so opening ports for clients is not necessary. Also, the Application Server is compatible with Network Address Translation (NAT).

If the Sage 100 Premium Application Server is configured to run as a service and you are experiencing connection timed out errors, white screens, hanging, or slow performance, but only after a certain number of Sage 100 Premium users are in the system, review document 20344 on the Sage Online Web. If you are running the Application Server on the desktop instead of running it as a service, the same problem may occur in a very large multi-user environment. If that is the case, review document 20344 on Sage Support web sites.

The Microsoft Fax Services feature are supported only for Paperless Office and batch faxing. For more information, refer to the Integrated Solutions Compatibility Matrix on the Sage Support Web site.

Note:

The recommended minimum is designed to ensure that the systems used for Sage 100 Premium are capable of providing adequate performance with a standard complement of normally installed applications, such as virus protection software.

E-mail Servers – Memory (RAM) – Additional Requirements

System Requirements Sage 100 Notes:

The recommended minimum is designed to ensure the systems used for Sage 100 Premium are capable of providing adequate performance with a standard complement of normally installed applications, such as virus protection software.

128 MB is based on an average of three concurrent tasks per user (Sage 100 Premium Desktop plus two additional tasks, such as Sales Order Entry or Customer Maintenance). Averages of more than three concurrent tasks per user will require additional RAM.
